About this title

Synopsis

With these 110 simple rules, the young George Washington embarked upon a lifetime of proper behaviour in which good manners and etiquette guided him through two wars, the presidency, and the life of a Virginia gentleman at his estate on the banks of the Potomac River. This charming new edition of George Washington's Rules of Civility includees examples of how our first president followed this code of conduct throughout his life, featuring illustrations from the Mount Vernon Collection and an introduction by America's foremost etiquette expert, Letitia Baldrige.

From the Publisher

Akashic Books presents a thought-provoking series of early writings from United States Presidents, starting this season with George Washington, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson, and moving chronologically forward. Each slim book offers an introduction and additional commentary by a groundbreaking contemporary writer. This series is unlike any other Presidential commentaries in print, and is characterized by a critical viewpoint that will provide a counterpoint to the more staid analyses that have traditionally accompanied Presidential writings.
